It Is about You! - The virtues of selfishness in leadership

Brief Date:

08th Oct 2010

Brief Author:

Robert I. Sutton

Eminent business thinkers like Stanford’s Robert Joss and Former GE CEO Jack Welch have taught managers that “it’s not about you” meaning that they need to think about their subordinates and team members in order to be effective leaders. But self-obsession can yield remarkably positive results when it’s guided by the motivation to understand how one is perceived by one’s team. Developing such understanding would help bosses control their moods and actions for best results.

Facebook in 10 years......

25th August, 2009
By Nick Vaidya

Has the facebook phenomenon reached maturity and equilibrium or are we to expect change? It is, indeed, a lot of things to a lot of people. It is a social resume. It is a directory of people? It is play ground? It is a blow horn? And on and on....Whatever it may be to you, it evolves for each individual. What do you think it will look like in 10 years from now?

Quote of the Day
“
There are a lot of things that go into creating success. I don't like to do just the things I like to do. I like to do things that cause the company to succeed. I don't spend a lot of time doing my favorite activities.
- Michael Dell
